Fontana della Vergogna

Admire Fontana della Vergogna-one of the most beautiful fountains in Italy.

Piazza della Rivoluzione

Admire the statue of the Genius of Palermo, depicting a symbol of the city, which had been installed here in the 17th-century, but removed by the Bourbon administration after the Sicilian revolution of 1848. After the liberation of Sicily by Garibaldi in 1860, the fountain and statue, which had become a patriotic symbol, were reunited, and the piazza renamed. Now Piazza Rivoluzione is a small. picturesque square surrounded by bars and restaurants.
